Going Up?
Patience definitely a virtue
Imagine yourself running late to class
one morning, and because you did not
want to walk down eleven flights of
stairs, you dashed for the elevators.
Somewhere between floors four and
five, the elevator stops. Yes, you were
stuck. Looks like you were going to be
later than you thought.
This event was unfortunate and very
real for Towers residents. Most people
who took the elevators were all too familiar with the problems.
Overcrowding was the most common
complaint. The Towers were built in the
early seventies, and it seemed that not
much practical thought was given to elevator usage.

with 500 students in each one should
have thought to put in more than two
elevators," said Gena Crenwelge.
"We spend about $60,000 per year to
keep those elevators up, and there are
still maintenance problems," said
Terry Bridges, area coordinator for the
Towers.
Whether the situation was to be
blamed on poor planning or slow service,
it was becoming increasingly obvious
that there was a problem.
Until more elevators are added or the
old ones maintained more efficiently, all
that residents could really do was be patient, be considerate, and without a
doubt, keep complaining.
